Hi boops and Jimmy I'm still not a 100 percent sure of them to be honest I can't remember any grass at blythefield and I know a lot of the faces but they could be a bit younger than me I know I was in kelvin then ,they could still have been in blythefield,don't you just hate not being able to get things right,not to worry there still great pictures.

James ,the pictures may have been taken in the quadrangle at the windows of the old cookery or science classrooms of the old Linfield Intermediate School where I and probable some of your family attended a long time ago though it seems like yesterday to me.

GREAT PHOTO HW 66. I OFTEN WONDER IF ANYONE LOOKING IN SAW THIS OR ANY OTHER PHOTO, SAW THEMSELVES IN THEM , HOW WOULD THEY FEEL SEEING THEMSELVES SO LONG AGO. I OFTEN WONDER WHERE THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOW. I BET MANY COURTING COUPLES SAT IN THE LITTLE CAFE. HA. LIZ XXX

yes Liz,They bring back lots of memories for me ,each Saturday my mammy and I did our shopping,the egg store where the ladies are standing at was our last stop and then we went into the chippy next door for our fish suppers, a cuppa and a rest before heading back home again....so a big thanks to HW66 for showing them.

BOOPS I BET IF YOU THINK BACK, GOING SHOPPING WITH YOU MOMMY AND KNOWING AT THE END YOU WOULD HAVE FISH AND CHIPS, SOUNDS SO NICE. LIZ XXX

Liz,My young sister would look after my children while mammy and I nipped into Sandy Row to shop, then when she got married she joined us , it was lovely, the Row was always teeming with people and everybody knew each other ,so someone always said hello or stopping you to have a yarn ,one family in particular the Curliss girls would call us the' Dolly sisters',honestly Liz,looking back ,I preferred those time to life now ...there isn't the same camaraderie.,, people seem to be happier walking along looking at their mobile phones, .maybe its just me getting older and having a wee moan though!!!!Anyway Liz have a happy Easter and God blessxxx

NO BOOPS YOU'RE RIGHT, PEOPLE WALK ALONG WITH THEIR NOSES IN THOSE PHONES, I'M SURPRISED THEY DON'T WALK INTO A LAMP POST, SORRY DO THEY STILL HAVE THOSE HA. EVEN WALKING DOWN TOWN YOU ALWAYS MET SOMEONE NO MATTER WHERE YOU WENT AND STOPPED FOR A FEW MINUTES TO SAY HA. THE ONLY TIME THEY STOP NOW IS IF THEY HAVE BUMPPED INTO SOMEONE TALKING INTO THEIR PHONES. I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A HAPPY EASTER TOO. GOD BLESS. LOVE LIZ XXX

I STARTED A POST AND IN THE MIDDLE MY PHONE RANG AND WHEN I WAS FINISHED I HAD STARTED TO WRITE TO A FRIEND. ANYWAY I'M TOO TIRED TO START AN OTHER LONG ONE SO I'LL JUST END THIS ONE AND COME BACK AGAIN. TAKE CARE . LIZ XXX

I came on to this thread at one stage with a question about accordion bands and was reading through some of the memories and accounts of the place, the times and the characters. There was a guy [at least I assumed it was a guy] who had written some very good pieces - at times humorous or quite serious and touching. I always thought he could have been a good Belfast short-story writer but I haven't seen anything by him for years. In fact, I think I said in a couple of posts that he should sit and work on a few serious drafts of stuff. 'Pennyfeather', I think. Anyone know if he ever did any writing?
